Notwithstanding the storm there was
good audience at Portland Theatre last
night and they were well repaid for their
trouble. The entertainment afforded by
Wilson Il Rankin's minstrels was one Of the
best Portland has had this season and pos
sessed several novelties. Chief among these
was the Pavanellas, knot~ef French paw
iors who, while engaged in paving, made
music, and good music too, out Of the stones
with which they paved the streets. George
Wilson too was very funny. He sings well
and gets of lots " new jokes. Harry V0kes
Is graceful and daring acrobat. The Bel
fry Chimes introduced some very graceful
dancers, and Raymond Shaw sang the lula
by "Rock-a-bye Baby" so sweetly he re-
ceived an enthusiastic encore.

death. Capt. Stone saved himself by SWIM

bales, seed sacks and planks to help the
people jumping from the Gardner. The
heat was so intense that the Talley did
not dare to 60 near, but her boats picked
up number of the people.
